Hello List, Tonight I had a first look at my thin section of the ungrouped achondrite NWA 6693 that I purchased from E.T. (Hello Edwin, I hope your surgery was successful and that you are already on the mend!).
We all know that Greg Hupés NWA 6704 (gorgeous 6.01 gr slice in my collection!) with its curvilinear bubble trains is no longer alone but nevertheless still unique as are its pairings: E.T.s NWA 6693 and Garys NWA 6926. The quadrangular viewing area of E.T.s NWA 6693 thin section is a whopping 1.7 - 2.1 x 2.8 mm and its price a real bargain, a real steal, and, of course, it comes from the "Number One" slidemaker! When I saw those colorful olivines and pyroxenes in x-pol. Light, I almost forgot to breathe and, well, when I noticed that there were not just a few occasional, curvilinear bubble trains but that this NWA 6693 TS was literally teeming with them, I almost choked! What a meteorite, what a thin section! Thank you Greg, Thank you, E.T. Best wishes, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
